Listener training to understand speech in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a listener training program to help people better understand speech that is hard to understand due to Parkinson's disease. It may help if you have Parkinson's and a speech problem called hyperkinetic dysarthria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your primary language is English
- You have a medical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
- You have a speech condition called hyperkinetic dysarthria (speech that is hard to control or sounds jerky)

This study looks at how people with Parkinson's disease learn and produce speech. It may help researchers understand how Parkinson's affects talking and how to improve communication.
This study tests a new speech therapy approach for people with Parkinson's disease who have mild to moderate speech problems. It uses a computer program that listens to your speech and helps you practice speaking more clearly.
This research study tests special amplification devices designed to help people with Parkinson disease or related conditions speak more clearly. The goal is to improve how well others can understand your speech.
This study tests how listening to speech during interactive tasks affects what you hear. It may help us understand how people communicate in everyday situations.
This study uses a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to see if it can help people with Parkinson's disease. It might improve symptoms by training your brain to work differently.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation, or HD-tDCS) to see if it can improve speech and voice problems in people with Parkinson's. The stimulation is applied over a part of the brain that helps with planning movement.
